The Agency has entered into a contract with Navigant Healthcare to support the completion of this initiative. Navigant will work with the Agency to develop a nursing home prospective payment system resulting in a final design document for submission to the Governor, President of the Senate, and the Speaker of the House of Representatives no later than January 1, 2017.
